Edgar "I'm Banned in 1v1" Markov

Commander / EDH* RBW (Mardu) Tribal Vampires

Not sure what to say about the deck that's not obvious from the commander.

Percent different from stock pre-con: 51%. I seem to remember there being a vampire in one of the other C17 decks that wasn't in Edgar, so maybe 52%.

Reason for taking apart the deck: My wife and I never really pulled it out. He was too powerful for our 1v1 games (we don't even care about 1v1's banlist) and I never really pulled him out for games at the LGS because I didn't feel like becoming the archenemy as soon as I plopped my deck down on the table. My wife plans on building a new vampire deck out of his ashes.

Wincons:

Token & creature swarm.

Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood + deal 1 damage = Infinite combo win + flavor win!

Blood Tribute + Exquisite Blood OR Sanguine Bond (if BT kicked) = somebody dies

Perfect Opening Hand:

Untapped black land x2, Sol Ring, Non-Boros Signet, Sanguine Bond, Exquisite Blood, Scoured Barrens/Bloodfell Caves

T1: Swamp, SR, Signet

T2: Swamp, SB/EB

T3: Whichever you didn't cast last turn, play a lifeland & drain your opponents

Proxies:

Cavern of Souls (hard case)

Basic Lands:

C17 basics that came with the pre-con, but less of them than there once was.

Maybe Cards:

Blood Tribute - It's a good card, but I cut it for something. Not sure what.

Go for the Throat - It's good removal, but I can't remember why I pulled it.

Pawn of Ulamog - Not sure why I cut this, but I probably had a decent reason.

Pitiless Pontiff - Cheap vampire with a sac outlet that protects itself.

Viscera Seer - Cheap vampire that's a sac outlet.

Yahenni, Undying Partisan - Cheap vampire that's a sac outlet and it protects itself.

Planned Upgrades:

Scoured Barrens --> Godless Shrine

Bloodfell Caves --> Blood Crypt

Kindred Charge --> ?????

Temple of Silence --> ?????

Stensia Masquerade --> ?????

Falkenrath Aristocrat --> ?????

My wife is thinking about making a different vampire tribal deck. If she does I'll take this apart.
